It took the mighty minds and resources of WIRED, YouTube, Stan Winston Studios, Legacy Effects, and Conde Nast Entertainment to create an insanely detailed, one-of-a-kind, 9 foot 9 inch Mech with four arms to usher in the 2013 San Diego Comic Con. And who better to announce it than Adam Savage, of Tested and Mythbusters. It is ready to blow your mind. And coming soon to YouTube's Geek Week ... a huge mini-series showing how this colossus was built.

I wouldn't sweat it. Hollywood only influences me on robots, due to the simple fact I sadly have no real life experiences to base it on, and only a handful of people out there actually do.
I do however have plenty of experience dealing with spam bots, and they don't scare me so I suppose the thread title could be construed as irrational, or even - god forbid; sensationalism.
my bad lol.
